we saw a large bright orange circular lights that formed a v shaped pattern clearly then blink rapidly and disappear.

I was driving south towards the ocean to pick up a friend for work between 9-9:30pm and directly in front of me in the sky was a large very bright round orange lights in a v pattern. It was very clear. I stared at it through my windshield what seemed like a good 5 mins or so trying to figure out what it was. It certainly did not look like an airplane or anything else. Then all of a sudden it started blinking really fast and disappeared. Then I saw a smaller set of rapidly blinking lights directly next to it and then it just disappeared completely. When I got to my friends I told her that I saw something crazy and didn't know if I was seeing things and she described it and said she had seen the same thing.

I talked to two other people that night who were at different locations at the same time who said that they had seen it as well and described it the same way.
